What's In This Picture
As you look at the page, you will find a knight wearing a full suit of armor and a helmet topped with flowing feathers. The horse is also prepared for adventure, wearing its own protective armor and a decorative saddle blanket adorned with noble lion crests.
A winding path cuts through the rolling hills and patches of grass, leading your eyes toward the towering castle in the distance. In the background, jagged mountains rise up against a sky dotted with fluffy clouds, while leafy trees line the edges of the trail. Every detail from the grass to the castle towers invites you to add your favorite colors.
Coloring Tips
For the knight's armor, you might use different shades of silver or grey, adding touches of yellow or gold to the lion crests and trim for a royal look. The horse would look wonderful in traditional browns or tans, or perhaps a striking dark grey.
You can make the landscape vibrant by using various greens for the hills and grass, while the distant mountains could be a cool blue or deep purple to show they are far away. Using a lighter blue for the sky will help the white clouds and dark castle stand out. Don't forget to use a bright color for the helmet feathers to make the knight easy to spot.
Did You Know?
Real suits of armor used by knights could weigh over 50 pounds. Because the metal was so heavy, knights needed special horses called destriers that were bred to be incredibly strong and brave. These horses even wore their own armor to stay safe during their travels.
Try This!
After you finish coloring, try giving your knight and horse heroic names. You could also draw a shield for the knight on a separate piece of paper and design your own family crest using animals like lions, dragons, or eagles to match the ones on the horse's blanket.
